Miss Du laughed and said, "Just bring it to me, please wait here for a moment, lunch will be ready soon."
The sun was directly overhead; it was the height of noon.
Several young ladies sat at one table, while Jin Zijin and Yue Rujing joined the farmers from the manor at another table to drink wine and eat meat.
Compared to the dishes on that table, the girls' was much more delicate with no large pieces of meat, but rather finely chopped varieties of stir-fries.
There was wine, homemade fruit wine.
Plum wine, mulberry wine, apricot blossom brew... surprisingly bountiful.
Miss Du laughed and said, "All the grain from this manor is used for brewing wine. Old Chen and his son and daughter-in-law are best at making wine."
That explains it!
Gu Youyou picked up a cup full of plum wine and took a light sip; the fragrance of the wine filled the air.
